Quality Control for your High-End Setup

December 21, 2014

This is my 2nd Panamax Power Conditioner. The first one (M5400-PM) manages my primary setup: RX-Z11, 360, PS3, XB1, 5-port switch, cooling fan & 1TB drive. The MR-4000 manages the VT-50 and two subs.
Down to business, these units offer several options to you:
1) Multiple Power outlets for your gear
2) Individual surge protection for your gear and backed by a 5yr (last I checked) warranty
3) Voltage regulation and monitoring
4) Power conditioning, no more spikes or drops in power.
Your audio will sound crisper & deeper. Your video will have less flicker and anomalies. Couple all of these features with the right cables and connectors and your setup will rival the big boys for a fraction of the cost but equal the quality. Enjoy.

BRIGHT blue light

Aesthetically, this is a nice looking surge protector. However, it emits a bright blue light 24 hours a day so if it is near a bedroom, you may have problems falling to sleep if you are sensitive to light.

Great to protect Electronics

A normal serge protector will not condition the power. this looks great a preforms well. at my house due to wiring we have dirty power, and you can tell when you see the power feedback in the TV image or humming in the sound in extreme situations like i was in. with this, it works great and would recommend it to any one upgrading a tv and/or sound

We purchased a new Panamax Surge Protector to replace the Panamax Surge Protector we had been using for over 20 years to protect our home theater and audio system. We live in a rural area subject to power outages, the Panamax worked flawlessly. We replaced it with a Panamax based on our prior experience.

not sure of its life

January 23, 2014

Was told it would provide life time protection but literature in the box says 3 years - so for the price not sure if there was a better option. I straight out took the salesman's recommendation - I was more concerned with the TV I was buying at the time.

Protection that works

August 20, 2016

If you have anything of importance plugged into one of those surge protectors that you see sold for ten dollars or so at hardware stores, just replace it with a cheap extension cord! They do indeed break the connection if a surge happens. At least at first and at least a small surge. Most of them work one time then the powder inside gets burned up and they will fail the next time. That is when your new 3 thousand dollar TV gets zapped! A few of those are slightly better but not much.
The full line of Panamax protectors work with a high speed breaker which will protect your equipment repeatedly and accurately and lightning (no pun intended) fast! Panamax has a video on their web page demonstrating the difference where the cheap one actually begins to smoke and may possibly cause a fire. I recommend watching that, then see if you believe this protection is worth it. I did and I bought a couple of these afterword.
The biggest difference between each Panamax model is how many plugs there are. So figure how many items you need to plug in and add two for the future and buy what you need. Every outlet is protected by the way. Some other companies offer multiple outlets but not all the outlets are protected. What is the point in that?

Good Surge Protector
Posted by: magsandlindz from: on This is a good surge protector for the money. It is a quality brand being a Panamax. Worth the small investment to protect your toys!

A must to have
Posted by: Danster from: on With my recent purchase, this was a good investment because I'm into preserving items that are valuable to me, so this was also another smart choice.

Panamax a must
Posted by: Deftech4thewin from: KY on With majority electronics going to a brushed aluminum finish would have been nice if Panamax had done this in their new models as well. Minor hiccup, I prefer my stack match. This will end up going to a secondary TV set right now using on main surround sound. Does great job managing voltage, formerly had a "Christmas tree effect" when watching movies. Also cleaned some snow out of poor cable signal. Will require more outlets than this unit provides
